Warning, to protect the identity of ACES certificate holders, only the
certificate holder should be using the digital certificate. Allowing
others to use your certificate through sharing your password, passphrase
or private key weakens the security of the system and presents a
security danger to the certificate holder. Those certificate holders
found to have shared this confidential information will be notified
that their certificates can be revoked.
